Abstract
Accelerated trend of miniaturization and thereby increasing use of microfeatures and microparts have tremendously encouraged scientists and engineers to develop new techniques for their precision fabrication. Considering that, this chapter introduces various machining techniques for microfeature fabrication, their capabilities, salient features and associated surface integrity aspects. It also reviews the past work and highlights recent technological development in this area.
